May Blinds

[Cher]

It’s the first Monday in May!

You know what that means?

MET GALA!

Fun fact: it wasn’t the first Monday in May until the early 2000’s, it was held typically in November or December prior.

Thought we could take a look back at some of the Met Gala’s looks: good, bad and just plain weird.

Calvin Klein and Iman, 1981.

Who did I miss? (A lot! I looked at so many pictures.) Who were some of your fav past looks? Weirdest looks? (Katy Perry, hamburger?) Anyone you are looking forward to seeing tonight? What do you think of the theme? (Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty).

Let’s discuss! And reveal some blinds.

Kim K's floral couch dress. Terrible, regrettable, but also unforgettable. 🫠

That’s the one I was waiting on!

[ggirl]

I’m sad Blake isn’t going this year. She’s had some great looks.

UO: I don’t think the dress deserved the backlash it got. Although, I do find the rumors surrounding it pretty juicy. It wasn’t my fav look but I didn’t think it was horrific. It was the height of hate Kardashian’s era so people treated the dress like a war crime. They also acted like she was gargantuan and she was just …. Pregnant.

[Pizzaslut]

The Met Gala of the 90's was so boring compared to what it is now.

[Bookshelves]

At least the couch dress had some color!


Karl was not a great human, but the fashion industry isn’t exactly known for its moral compass, so it’s unsurprising. It’s been funny to see the Vogue coverage, which is glowing, almost saintly, as expected. There must be a strict “nothing bad about Lagerfeld” edict from Anna Wintour. 🙄

[cakewench]

I will always love anything Zendaya wears, but the fiber optic Cinderella dress was amazing.

What were the rumors?

[Sweetjane]

I'm wondering about the rumors too?

I keep reading stuff on Kanye and how he styled her, got her our of her tacky looks etc.
Kim has always been tacky AF. He did not improve her style at all.

[Cher]

Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy and Kanye have been rumored to be linked. So there were whispers that Riccardo was a little bitter to dress Kim that night.

This A- list actress who stars on a hit streaming show after starring on multiple hit other shows, one of which also turned into a movie and is iconic, got dumped. So, she doesn't want to be on his show any longer.

Gillian Anderson/The Crown/The X-Files

He did not at all

[snowyowl]

A guy I went to grade school with is dating an Instagram VP and is going to the Met Gala, and he just posted stories from the Instagram suite that included some people’s outfits and I’m like… are you allowed to do that?! Guess so!

[Eagles]

Do we know which K-Js are going? Isn't the rumor that only Kendall and maybe Kylie are invited?

[icedcoffee]

I like Celine's 2019 look! I don't remember that one

[icedcoffee]

Is Donatella's dress the same as JLo's later famous dress??

[Cher]

In weird gross news, Roman Polanski poses with his victim.

Continuing the awful people theme, this A- list pro wrestler got divorced last year because his wife discovered he sexually assaulted a barely barely barely legal teen.

It certainly wasn't the worst thing ever at the Met Gala, that's for sure. I just thought it was a shame because she could have so easily been dressed in a way that made her a (pregnant) goddess but instead she just reminded everyone of their grandmother's couch.

And while I don't know if there's any there there to the relationship/affair rumors, it definitely feels like Riccardo dressed her that way out of spite.

I would be very surprised if Kim isn’t there

[bobyn]

Kanye looks absolutely miserable in that photo, but he generally looks miserable all the time. This is just a lot more miserable than normal.

I thought those Rock Royalty shirts said Cock Royalty at first 🥴

Fuck Roman Polanski forever and always. He hasn’t done shit to pay for his crimes.

[Hotcoconuts82]

My kid was bullied today so I'm in full burn it down mode. But I'll take a break to see what you ladies are up to.

What a curious qualifier. Does that imply someone who just had a birthday or something?

[treeofheaven]

I found the E!News TikTok and they're having a live, so I know what I'm doing all night..

[Pizzaslut]

What’s the theme? Will there be a thread? bobyn is my queen and I don’t know who else can do it.

😘

If a thread has not been started by the time I get home from B’s soccer practice, I’ll definitely do it!
